3 PHILOSOPHY "True player development focuses on the development of the player, not the development of the team! Up to age 12, this should be the only criteria used in designing and running youth soccer programs. -Ron Quinn, leading contributor US Youth Soccer Programming More than 73% of all kids who play organized youth sports end up quitting by the time they reach the age of 13 (Time Magazine, July 12, 1999) The major two reasons children give up sport: 1. It s no longer fun 2. It s too competitive/too much pressure MISSION STATEMENT Associations must be empowered to provide a variety of programming options for their players. The NC Youth Soccer Academy Program philosophy is to emphasize player development over team development and focus on the technical development of each child without the pressures of short-term wins/losses/results. GENERAL INFORMATION 1. The NC Youth Soccer Academy Program will be offered for the TRUE 8U - 12U PLAYER age groups. 2. In addition to these NC Youth Soccer Academy Program Rules, the rules and policies of NCYSA, USYSA, and USSF are applicable. 3.

The Committee may apply sanctions if an association fails to meet the criteria listed in these guidelines or intentionally violates them. (B) The NC Youth Soccer Academy Committee will be comprised of the NCYSA VP for Player Development, the NCYSA Technical Director of Coaching Education and Player Development, the NCYSA Assistant Technical Director for Academy and members approved by NCYSA Executive Board. 3 W ednesday, August 15, 2018

These events are part of a bid process. Each association would be allowed to attend one (1) competitive tournament each season, excluding one tournament hosted by their home association. The following amendments were made to Academy Rules, Tournaments, and the NC Youth Soccer Academy Showcase (December 5, 2012) by the NC Youth Soccer Academy Directors. On a goal kick all players for the opposing team need to be at midfield before the kick is taken. Once the kick is taken the players from the opposing team can play.

7 PLAYER TRAINING 1. Each association will provide its players, as part of the association s NC Youth Soccer Academy Program, with a maximum of three (3) training opportunities per week. 2. Training should be conducted in a pool training format - not with specific teams. 3. HEADING US Soccer Heading Mandate A. U.S. Soccer Recommendations 11U and younger. 1. U.S. Soccer recommends that players in 11U programs and younger shall not engage in heading, either in practices or in games. 2. U.S. Soccer further recommends for players in 12U and 13U programs, that heading training be limited to a maximum of 30 minutes per week with no more that headers per player, per week. 3. All coaches should be instructed to teach and emphasize the importance of proper techniques for heading the ball. B. Implementing Members 1. The Implementing Members accept the recommendations of U.S. Soccer set forth in item A above and recommend that each of their respective members follow such recommendations as well. 2. Provide parent education. STRATEGIC PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT 1. Explore growth of bi-monthly showcases to allow for different competition and to help scheduling. 2. Creation of NC Youth Soccer Academy Manual for policy, questions, etc. Update as needed. NC YOUTH SOCCER ACADEMY ASSESSMENT 1. Assessment or Evaluations NOT tryouts are the terms to use when selecting players for the NC Youth Soccer Academy program. Before state cups, you may ONLY assess registered players from YOUR association. Open Assessments can be conducted - The first Monday after Singer Cup Cannot recruit player 12U and below to participate. 7 W ednesday, August 15, 2018
8 PRE-ODP OPTIONAL COMPONENT OF NC YOUTH ACADEMY Coaching Education Pathway Platform Currently the NC Youth Soccer Academy has 63 associations that offer this optional program to their players. This program is offered to players that are true 8U through 12U across the state. The number of players registered in the NC Youth Soccer Academy was at 4,212 as of May 1, Under the current model all active associations must have an Academy Director who completes the following coaching education requirements. **ONLY registered and approved NCYSA Risk Managed adults can work with the players. This platform helps ensure the associations across the state are teaching age-appropriate activities under qualified guidance. Each fall and spring hundreds of teams from across the state participate in the NC Youth Soccer Academy Showcase, which provides the NC ODP program coaches the opportunity to observe. Soccer Landscape in North Carolina Beginning in the fall of 2016 the U.S. Soccer Development Academy will begin competing at the 12U age group for the first time. This change in the soccer landscape within North Carolina could result in several players opting to participate in the U.S. Soccer Development Academy from the 12U age group. Thus, the question becomes how can we enhance opportunities for our current 11U-12U players within the NC Youth Soccer Academy by increasing player development in conjunction with the NC ODP program? Pre-ODP: 11U & 12U Players Our solution to this challenge is to connect the large number of players, as well as coaches involved, in the NC Youth Soccer Academy with the NC ODP program curriculum. The aim would be to implement the US Youth Soccer ODP Player Manual, currently utilized by NC ODP, which provides a player development curriculum for the 11U-12U age group and beyond. Players would develop two-fold as they are immersed in the 8U-10U curriculum then graduate to the 11U-12U Pre-ODP player development curriculum. This Pre-ODP training would supplement the learning environment already established in our current NC Youth Soccer Academy Associations, thus introducing players and parents to the NC ODP program s focus on development of players at an earlier age. 8 W ednesday, August 15, 2018
9 PROGRAMMING The NCYSA Technical Director for Coaching Education and Player Development and the NCYSA Assistant Technical Director for Academy and ODP will work with each NC Youth Soccer Academy Director on implementing the US Youth Soccer ODP Player Manual for the Pre-ODP 11U-12U players which: 1. Creates an opportunity to evaluate coaches and players while providing support & feedback. 2. Creates an environment which is age appropriate and player centered where NC ODP coaches can begin to evaluate players in a controlled environment. 3. Provides the NC Youth Soccer Academy Fall & Spring Showcases as an assessment opportunity; with the intent of inviting players to NC ODP training sessions and/or tryouts. 4. Gives a natural building block of player development from 8U-10U to 11U-12U. Educates the players and parents of the NC ODP process as well as future opportunities for their sons and/or daughters through ODP Sub-regional & Regional Events. 5. Gives those associations participating in the NC Youth Soccer Academy Program a marketing tool to retain players through this unique programming. This merging of the NC Youth Soccer Academy Program curriculum and the NC ODP Program curriculum will permit both programs to develop players for the future of soccer in North Carolina no matter what pathway the player chooses. (8/9/16 Approved by NCYSA Executive Board) 9 W ednesday, August 15, 2018
